One of the long standing problems I have had with text in graphics is that the spacings between words is irregular. In fact, sometimes the space between words is entirely loss.
Here is an example.
Needs["Graphics`Colors`"]
Show[Graphics[
{Text[
StyleForm["With wristwatch time indicated",
FontFamily -> "Helvetia", FontWeight -> "Bold",
FontSize -> 12], {8., 12.}, {-1, 0}]}],
PlotRange -> {{0, 16.5}, {0, 14}},
ImageSize -> 450,
Background -> AliceBlue];
The space between "wristwatch" and "time" is lost. One can sort of fix it by putting in extra spaces after the bug pops up. This also happens with PlotLabel. I wonder if anyone knows why this happens.
